Was pretty much at the end of my rope last week with the depression... I figured I'd try anything to get out of it, and remembered some leftover Provigil from a previous prescription. Now, I had only taken 300mg in the past, but I was curious as to the effects of higher doses. So after researching a bit and discovering how low its toxicity is, I took ten 100mg tablets. The effect was astonishing and certainly unexpected, but was certainly anything *but* a "high". If anything, it was simply return to normalcy... the social anxiety just *completely* melted away(?!), the depression-fog lifted, and I was left with nothing but greater energy and much more motivated. No side effects either. It was like finding the Holy Grail, lol.
I had also been taking Klonopin 4mg and BuSpar 60mg, but as usual, the Klonopin has waned in its effect quite a bit... I often had to switch between benzodiazepines and short-acting barbiturates. But anyway, the next day I tried the Provigil without Klonopin or BuSpar, and was soooo happy to find it achieved the same effect. I was seriously plotting suicide not long ago, but since taking this for a few days I feel I've regained the person I was at 8 years old (except minus the ADHD and hopefully a bit more intelligent, lol). In short, if it worked for me, it's got to work for some others as well... worth a shot! (well, guess a prerequisite would *definitely* have to be insurance in this case, unless there's a fella named Bill Gates you call 'daddy')
